King Saturn's Book

The two extended poem sequences by David Annwn in King Saturn’s Book establish Saturn as a cipher for local, historical and economic tensions, mapping planetary infuence and personal identity. The accompanying drawings track a separate course across the texts.

“Peterjon Skelt’s drawings … which hinge in specific lines and develop parallel to the poems - are superb. Studied in progression, the subject matter becomes increasingly sub, or anti, human, symbolizing the threat of the unknown, the cruel destiny which is totally beyond the control of man.” THE ANGLO WELSH REVIEW
